Cumberland Island: Where nature feels large

Cumberland Island National Seashore is the largest and southernmost barrier island in Georgia, with more than 17 miles of secluded white, sandy beaches. Wild horses and other island wildlife roam freely throughout the ruins and along the beach. Glimpses of the Carnegie lifestyle can be easily imagined throughout the ruins of Dungeness, Plum Orchard and Greyfield Inn. Cumberland Island is accessible by ferry only. Reservations for the 45-minute ferry ride are recommended. Board the ferry to Cumbe

Snow Cone and Calf Spotted off Cumberland Island! 🐋 North Atlantic Right Whale #3560, or Snow Cone, was first seen entangled in March 2021 in Cape Cod Bay. Several disentanglement attempts were made in which the trailing rope was successfully shortened. The calf is new and the second documented in the Southeast this season! It's not entangled, but has been observed swimming in, through and around the ropes. General opinion is that they are short enough that the calf likely won't become entangle
